Quantum Server

Installation

OpenStack has a preview repository, allowing Fedora N-1 users to try out OpenStack packages from the latest Fedora release.

Configuration

The Quantum service requires the installation and configuration of a database. This can be achieved by running the following:

#> sudo quantum-server-setup

The above script makes use of a number of default settings. Make use of the --help option to see what can be configured. This will ensure that Quantum database is installed, started and configured. In addition to this the user will be requested to supply the relevant plugin. The plugins are discussed below.

Once the database has been created an configured the quantum service should be enabled and started.

An OVS “integration” bridge must be created. The VMs will connect to this bridge.

#> sudo ovs-vsctl add-br br-int

If you wish to connect this to an physical NIC, for example eth0), then do:

#> sudo ovs-vsctl add-port br-int eth0

Note that br-int is defined in the ovs-quantum_plugin.ini file.

RYU

#> sudo yum install openstack-quantum-ryu

The agents need to be installed on all of the compute nodes.

Configuration

The Quantum plugin must be configured so that it can interface with the Quantum server. This can be achieved by running the following:

#> sudo quantum-node-setup

The above script makes use of a number of default settings. Make use of the --help option to see what can be configured. The Quantum database hostname is very important. Please make sure that this is defined in the hosts file.
